New York City FC's goal is to secure their first away win. Cushing's team will face Charlotte in their second game away from home, following the one they lost to Toronro FC.
It will be important for the Blues to reset, because the defeat in Canada could have left important and worrying aftermaths. NYCFC starts from scratch, ready to play a game that will have to try in every way to win.
Getting the three points away could give the whole team more confidence. Getting the first win away from New York would give everyone a big psychological blow, in a positive sense, because the team would no longer play with the burden of having to win again on the road.
The approach to the match will be very important. NYCFC will have to play with quality, attention but without the frenzy of having to win at all costs. In fact, the risk is that of wanting so strongly to seek victory that you play a game that will have to be perfect with confusion.
The game against Charlotte could be the one that will be the watershed for the New York season. A win could improve the standings, but also improve the mood of a team that has the strength to play in a top championship but needs the decisive jolt.
